Confident Of Winning 100 Seats If Mid-Term Polls Held In Maha: Raut
Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that his party is confident of winning 100 seats if mid-term polls are conducted in Maharashtra.
“We’re confident of winning 100 seats as the Shiv Sena. Uddhav Thackeray said let’s have mid-term polls and everything will be clear, who’ll win and who’ll lose.”
The Rajya Sabha MP also remarked that the Shiv Sena will always belong to its founder, the late Bal Thackeray, adding that very soon, a ‘big expose’ would happen through which it would be revealed how the dissident Sena legislators were made to revolt against party supremo and former Maharashtra chief minister, Uddhav Thackeray.
“Shiv Sena is Baba Thackeray’s. Cannot be anyone else’s. You cannot hijack it through money. CM Mamata Banerjee has said, not just money but something else was also given. It will be a big expose when this ‘something’ is revealed,” he said.

The outspoken politician was speaking to the media a day after ‘Shinde Sena’ and the BJP’s coalition government easily won the trust vote with 164 votes in favor and 99 against in the 288-member assembly.
On Sunday too, BJP MLA Rahul Narvekar, who was the ruling party’s presidential candidate, registered a comfortable victory by securing 164 votes in his favor and just 107 in the opposition.
The Uddhav Thackeray-led party has a total of 55 MLAs in the Maharashtra Assembly, out of which 40, including CM Shinde, have revolted against them. This means that the so-called ‘rebel’ group has more than two-thirds of the total strength of the party and is, therefore, clear from the anti-defection law. It can also stake claim to be the ‘real’ Shiv Sena.
